Habakkuk 1:6-11
6For beholdH2009, I am 1raisingH6965 upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, That 2grimH4751 and impetuousH4116 peopleH1471 Who marchH1980 3throughoutH4800 the earthH776, To 4takeH3423 possessionH3423 of dwellingH4908 placesH4908 that are not theirs.7They are terrifyingH366 and 5fearedH3372; Their 6justiceH4941 and 7authorityH7613 8originateH3318 with themselves.8Their 9horsesH5483 areH7043 fasterH7043 thanH4480 leopardsH5246, And quickerH2300 thanH4480 10wolvesH2061 in the eveningH6153. Their 11horsemenH6571 chargeH6335 alongH6335, Their 12horsemenH6571 comeH935 from afarH7350; They flyH5774 like an 13eagleH5404 14swoopingH2363 downH2363 to devourH398.9AllH3605 of them comeH935 for violenceH2555. 15Their hordeH4041 of 16facesH6440 movesH6923 forwardH6923. They gatherH622 captivesH7628 like sandH2344.10They 17makeH7046 funH7046 of kingsH4428, And dignitariesH7336 are an object of laughterH4890 to them. They 18laughH7832 at everyH3605 fortressH4013, Then 19heapH6651 upH6651 dirtH6083 and 20captureH3920 it.11ThenH227 they flyH2498 alongH2498 like the 21windH7307 and passH5674 onH5674. But they will be heldH816 22guiltyH816, They whoseH2098 23strengthH3581 is their godH433.”
